Store your tomatoes at room temperature. The flavor and texture of tomatoes suffer when the fruit is chilled.
Heirloom tomatoes are bred for their flavor and simple preparation best allows that intense flavor to shine through. Tomatoes can be sliced and drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper or layer slices with basil and mozzarella for a Caprese salad.
Roasted tomatoes have a richer, concentrated flavor.
There are hundreds of salsa recipes to try and most are dramatically improved with the use of heirloom tomatoes. Tomatoes are also the main ingredient in Gazpacho, a cold soup that is perfect for summer.

Extravagant producer!
by DKH
These started out the season bland tasting but somewhere along the way the taste improved immensely! The bush grew huge and I sincerely never saw so many tomatoes! I canned the juice right along with a variety of other heirlooms and ended up with a great supply of juice. Give this variety a try and have patience! It will pay off!
